A EALSE ECONOMY.

The British Government docs not weary OF
its efforts to control tho commerce of the
world for the benefit of British manufacturers.
1t has Just granted subsidy to the Northern
Facifo Steamship Company which runs from
Vancouver to China and Japan. This COM
pany is endeavorng to drive the American
line, the Pacific Mail out of the business, a
purpose which the Government at London
views with the iveliest sympathy. Until
within the past year the Pacific Mail ran a
steamer every month to Australia. The Colo
NAL Governments there paid it good round
price for carrying their mails, and it was
gradually building up fine trade between
this country and Australia. Had our Gov
eminent been half as generous in encourag-
ing the line as were those at its other end,
in few years it would have been self-srp-
porting. But Mr.. Villas, the Postmaster Cen
eral of the present Administration, defantly
disrcgarded the act Of Congress providing a
fair and decent compensation for carrying the
ocean mails, and consequently the Australian
line had to be abandoned.
An unprecedented opportunity to secure
large part of the rapidly growing trade OF
the South Seas for our manufacture which
arc largely in excess of our home necessities.
was thus thrown away by official misconduct.
and now we are threatened with new
danger by reason of the action OF Great
Britain in substituting the new Pacific COM
pany If the Pacific Mail Is afforded half
chance, however, 1t will vigorously fight this
competition. II has decided to build two new
steamships for its Chinese route, but whether
to employ American ship-builders and sail
them under the American fag subject to the
legitimate demands of the Government, or to
90 abroad for them and save 100000 by
employing foreign labor and then to sail
them under a foreign flag, will depend upon
the action Of the Administration. If it agrees
to pay the company an honest price for carry
ing tho mails the new ships will be built in
an American ship-yard.
Why Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Villas continue
to pursue their insane policy toward the ship
ping interest is more than sensible people can
understand. The shipping of England, which
now earns $500, 900, 900 annually and scatters
81 500, OOOOOO worth of her exports abroad
over the face Of the earth, had grown from
500, 900 tons thirty years ago to 100000
in 1856. English craftsmanship has done
this. England knows that it pays the people
in good pounds and pence TO encourage the
carrying trade, and it pays $500, 900 year
to get It's mails to their destination. This
country pays only $325,ooo and less than
$50, 900 of that goes to American lines. In
order to save S3,OOO,O 900 VIC think it wise to
lose at least S2oO,OoO,oO0. In 1850, CT
per cent Of the vessels that entered Amerl-
obout
cent fly it. This condition of affairs Is duo
entirIy to the blind policy OF the authorities
at Washington. A change in Our attitude
toward the shipping interests would In twenty
years give us absolute control Of the South
American market, and the master hand in the
delivery of the worlds trade.

goods entering into competition with Ameri-
can products, shows clearly that existing de-
fects in the tariff, due to Democratic influence
in Congress of late years, and the wrongful
construction given to the law by the present
Administration, are exposing home industry 70
increasing danger. Attention Is especially
called to the large imports of iron in various
forms, to the increasing imports OF woollen
goods, Silks glassware. and fax and hemp
The comparative statement given merits the
attention of legislators who wish to serve their
